The Edge - A Tucson Bar — Restaurant in Four Corners States

I love this bar. It's local and closest to me. Due to various reasons, I walked away for some time and for the first visit back, I'm not exactly happy. The bartender, Liz was fantastic. I showed up early. She was good conversation, great company and it was nice to catch up on things.

The KJ shows up, starts setting up, has some audio issues and then nothing. It's my first show with this KJ in this bar. There are a few people but nothing too busy. In fact, I would call it the calm before the storm.

Before I know it, it's about a quarter after 9pm, the KJ has some music jamming, but there's no announcement that shes ready for karaoke. No introduction. Nothing but music. How am I, as a newcomer to her show, supposed to know when she ready to start accepting songs?

Fast forward some time, and after disappearing on me while I'm singing, being able to enjoy my karaoke is a huge thing for me. If I can't hear myself through the speakers, and I can hear myself better when I just remove the microphone and sing as I normally would because that is how I can hear myself better, then that's what I'm going to do.

It is highly unprofessional of the KJ to tell me, after she had disappeared, that I was needy because her audio system was not satisfactory.

Just because I have a young face, does not mean you should dish out that kind of disrespect. Especially to someone who is BRAND new to your show and may not understand your sense humor.

Fast forward a bit of time again, a long or two as it's a small rotation, and though some of the vocals were 🔥, I noticed just music was playing even though I had put in a song since I last sang.

In that moment, I recalled having been outside for several minutes so perhaps my time had just skipped and she didn't know I was back inside, or maybe something else that occurred. So I go to inquire on what had happened or if I needed to let her know that I was back and she tells me that she forgot. After sending me away because she said that she had my song in, this same KJ is now telling me, that she had forgotten to put in my song 😑

Treat a new person with a little more respect, respect your job a little more when it is slow, pay a little more attention to the audios and the vocals and the ranges in which people wish to sing so that they don't have to go hunt you down, and you could go a long way.

In the meantime, all other aspects were amazing.

Bartender = 5/5 Karaoke Dj...

We went on a Friday night it was not crowded yet there was going to be a live band to start soon after we had arrived there. Not our type of music really but we were sitting out in the patio area anyhow so wasn't as loud as it could have been. Have to give the guys who are in that group a hand though they have a great drummer! As for what they where yelling I couldn't tell ya? No clue what so ever. I'm just glad that it wasn't me who had to wake up the next day and attempt to talk to people cause I seriously don't know how one could after all of that YELLING AND SCREAMING OF WORDS. I'm sure only the ones who listen to that type of music can understand . I mean OUCH on the throat and the vocal cords seriously.! They sounded good just wish I could've understood what they was saying just not a youngster any more for sure. It's a bar that everyone's been to I'm sure at some point in time here in Tucson. I used to go there when it was called the rivers edge and was there a lot when I joined my boyfriend's pool team that was so many years ago! We all had fun then and had many a party and food times shared there with friends and family. My oldest who has passed three years ago now she sang Karaoke there one time when we had went to family day on s sunday she ibthinkbwas 15 back then. So I have good memories there . The staff is always nice and helpful and very curtious to everyone. The pool room is great not overly crowded lots of room to move about when your back there. So don't miss out and take a trip o j er and say high to their lovely bartenders and make some new friends or take some of yours with and hang out for a spell. They'll be happy to see you and make it a great day for evening for you. Be safe always...

23 years and there gang is still here. Some have moved on to other things, yet we have rung in all the bells you can think of from leagues, karaoke, and even live music too. From good friends to marriages, breakups, new arrivals and all the rest, yet though we lost a few that we miss, we have hope because we know we will see you again. We know you are still within us. As for the rest, come back and try this again. We are different than you and are just the same. We do not mind sitting on this fence in between and reminiscing of all of both places we have been as we carry each other...
